I am so tired of people who just decide they can pick truth and reality at their own convenience. And people who take advantage of gullibility in ppl who can’t validate news sources. It’s not only regarding the pandemic, but also climate change. Damn them for damning all of us.🤬

I haven’t been on Twitter since this pup arrived in my life. I don’t feel I missed anything, but I’m happy to be able to add to this thread, even if it is late. Happy Newyear everyone ♥️
It’s that time! Please reply with your pet pics!!!

GOP men are the main obstacle to ending the pandemic that has killed 600k Americans. Elected Republicans spent the last two decades calling on Muslims to condemn extremists, Where are the elected Republicans who will risk their careers to save America? usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…

Actually no. #BLM is no threat. "...right-wing extremist attacks and plots greatly eclipsing those from the far left and causing more deaths..." washingtonpost.com/investiga…

True justice for George Floyd means renewing our conviction to create a world where police do not have the opportunity to use violence to target Black people.

George Floyd should not have died under an officer’s knee — he should still be alive today. So should Daunte Wright, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black people killed by police.

This racist system of policing also resulted in the killing of Daunte Wright by police less than 10 miles from this trial. And it will continue taking lives by police violence and incarceration until we overhaul it entirely.

George Floyd will never again play games with his daughter, Gianna. He’ll never go on walks through the park with his fiancée, Courteney. He will never play basketball with his brother, Philonise. True justice would mean George Floyd was never killed in the first place.

While today’s verdict is a small win for police accountability and may help heal a grieving community, the systems that allowed George to be murdered — ripping him away from his family and the communities that loved him so much — remain fully intact.

BREAKING: Derek Chauvin has been convicted of the murder of George Floyd. For the first time in Minnesota state history, a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man.

Greene and Gosar should be pressed on exactly what they mean by respecting “Anglo-Saxon political traditions.” What traditions are they talking about? There really isn’t a way to spin this as anything other than a blatantly racist caucus taking their hoods off.

It needs said that the wholesale dismantling of liberal democracy the Right is after, that it now requires for its political survival, takes more than racist legislation, targeted disenfranchisement, and stacked courts. It requires violence.

Maybe, instead of just talking about “rapid secularization” with church attendance dipping below 50%, it’s time to talk about how white identity evangelical churches are radicalized, have traumatized untold numbers of people, and function as centers for gross intolerance.

Facebook could have prevented some 10 billion views of toxic and misleading U.S. election-related content last year if it had taken earlier action, according to a new report released by online advocacy group Avaaz trib.al/yFifUjf
